Funny thing I didn't notice until the recap of last episode was when the Hex engulfing Darcy she's shouting "Fuuuuuuuuuuu"...which turns into "uuuuuudge" as she passes into 90's PG-13 sit com world.

are most people liking Monica more than I am? Teyonah Parris is doing what she can with the material, but she doesn’t have much in the way of discernible character traits beyond “is sad about her dead mom” and “wants to help Wanda”

So in the fake commercial in Episode 7 what's up with Nexus' fake chemical name Nexulpromocide? I'm not fluent in Latin, but I know that -cide means "the act of killing" and that seems a little weird to have to have on the end of even a fake antidepressant. Also it being 10.3% seems oddly specific. I'm feeling this is some sort of reference that I'm not getting.

There's like a 100% chance that Doctor Strange shows up by the time this shows all over. Multiverse of Madness aside, all of this is extremely his poo poo.

So we all agree Vision is back alive and in the MCU again permanently now right (until he gets killed off in Avengers 8: Adrian's Revenge)

Desperado Bones posted:The premise of Dr. Strange 2, according to Wikipedia: Pretty sure that means Mordo. I don't think Agatha is controlled by someone else, she is working for someone else consensually. That she brought Wanda here, and her manipulation has been to get her to use her powers more and more so they can be drained into the darkhold/necronomicon/art of the deal or whatever evil book she has in the basement and bring her master into this world or whaver evil plan she has. Wanda is probably too powerful for Agatha to directly control, or at least at first. Wanda is directly connected to the Nexus, her power is raw and intuitive, but she doesn't have the skill of Agatha, who has centuries of practice. So there is a point where Wanda's power is drained enough that skill can overcome power.

I forget what else it did. That Doctor Who elf used it to get real big, and there were probably energy blasts involved. There usually are. ONE YEAR LATER posted:The Aether was the red goo that was compressed into the reality stone by Thanos. That also implies a scene of Captain America traveling back in time, sneaking into Odin's fortress on Asgard, finding a heavily-guarded Jane Foster (who had just been assaulted by a talking raccoon), and jamming the presumably carcinogenic Aether-goo back inside her.

Maxwell Lord posted:I mean it may partly depend on if Paul Bettany wants to do more stuff but it would be a waste if he were still dead at the end of all this. And now, I just watched the world's most advanced android, powered by one of the fragments of universal creation itself (maybe?), likely one of the most powerful and intelligent beings in existence, come up with an escape plan that involved pointing at a mime and shouting "Oh, no. Look, that mime… His tray is getting too heavy!" and then stealing a funnel-cake truck while everyone was distracted. (Note: This plan worked) After 7 episodes of this show, he's suddenly one of my favorite characters in the MCU. I didn't care when Vision died the first two times, but now I really hope he can avoid a third. twistedmentat posted:I can accept they figured out a better way to get it back in her without stabbing her with a giant gently caress off needle. It was a cluster of three giant gently caress-off needles.  And trying to get permission to do it would be a pretty awkward conversation. Guards: "Are you in league with the rabbit that attacked this Woman?" Steve: "Rocket? He's a friend of mine... Well, he hasn't met me yet, but we're friends." Guards: Steve: "Oh, my other friend, Thor, was here. But you just missed him." Guards: Steve: "Thor and Rocket just took the reali- Aether out of Jane Foster." Guards: "What? That's wonderful news, her life is saved! How did you manage it?" Steve: "The, um, rabbit did it. He built a thingy and, um, I didn't really ask how it worked." Guards: Steve: "And now I'm here to put it back in her. I've got another thingy here, and I just need to poke her with it. I think. That's what the rabbit told me." Guards: "What, but won't that kill her?" Steve: "Oh, about that. She's going to- Oh right, I'm not allowed to tell you. Time stuff." Guards: Steve: "Come on guys, a wizard told me told me I had to do this." Guards: Steve: "This wizard knows Loki, does that help?" Guards: "It really doesn't."

Emma Caulfield is credited for three episodes on IMDB. Has Dottie been seen since episode 2? If she’s in the last two then maybe there’s time for one more bad guy reveal.

Robot Hobo posted:By the time Vision was killed by Thanos, he had left almost no impression on me. His character was bland, barely showed up anyway, and I really wasn't going to miss him. Seriously, Vision was a big ball of nothing for MULTIPLE films, and now he's probably one of my favorites. I'm not sure he'd be the best choice for a solo film, but holy crap is this version of him insanely entertaining.

I think they didn't use Vision much in the movies is due to him being insanely overpowered for the universe and would have outshone most of everyone else that wasn't powered by an infinity stone.

Im just happy they are giving scarlet witch and Vision more screen time. I rewatched the MCU after the first couple episodes of WV and they really had maybe 4 scenes together after Ultron. Lagos kept her cooped up after Civil War and it was implied but not shown that their relationship bloom. The next time you see them is in Glasgow at infinity war. There was no in between and it always felt forced to me.

I just caught up with the thread, so here are some of my thoughts: I can't believe how nobody has mentioned Kat Dennings some how made a full body velvet circus costume more revealing than a swimsuit. I am going to toss out another possible villain behind the villain: The Enchantress, who is a classic Thor villain. Magic, mind control and illusion are her whole thing and, as some pointed out, the Evil Basement has Asgardian symbols. Assuming that Evan Peters is playing Fox-verse Quicksilver, nobody has asked the most important question about that character: what cool pop song is going to play during the super-speed scene when he saves the town?.
